Abstract
Lacking of electron donor generally causes the low denitrification performance of constructed wetlands (CWs). Montmorillonite supported nanoscale zero-valent iron immobilized in sodium alginate (SA/Mt-NZVI) as novel electron donor-acceptor compounds were added in the denitrification zone of vertical flow constructed wetlands (VFCWs) to enhance the nitrogen removal. The key factors of the SA/Mt-NZVI dosage, the hydraulic retention time (HRT) of VFCWs, and the C/N ratios of influent were explored. SA/Mt-NZVI significantly improved the nitrogen (NO3--N) removal efficiency in VFCWs. When the optimal dosage of SA/Mt-NZVI was set as 2 g and the C/N was set as 6, the highest NO3--N removal efficiency was improved by 32.5 ± 1.0%. The microbial community analysis of by 16S rRNA had revealed that Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes at phylum level and Betaproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, and Alphaproteobacteria at class level played an important role in nitrogen removal.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2018; 265:380-386. [PMID: 29929105 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2018.06.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2018] [Revised: 06/05/2018] [Accepted: 06/08/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Cold-season macrophytes were configured in a system of stabilization ponds (SPs) and batch operation constructed wetlands (BCWs) to supply a carbon source for low carbon/nitrogen (C/N) effluent in spring and summer without generating secondary pollution during the decomposition process. For eutrophic water, the macrophyte configuration increased the average removal efficiency (RE) from 41.6% to 68.6% and from 70.2% to 83.7% for NO3--N and TN in the final BCW effluent, respectively, with the concentrations decreasing from 3.08 mg/L to 1.04 mg/L and from 4.94 mg/L to 3.12 mg/L, respectively. In the early decomposition stages, the RE and concentrations were 82.9% and 0.53 mg/L and 89.4% and 2.38 mg/L for NO3--N and TN, respectively. Thus, cold-season macrophytes can improve N removal in SP-BCW systems at the senescence stage, especially at the early decomposition stage.

Abstract
Substrate selection is one of the key technical issues for constructed wetlands (CWs), which works for wastewater treatment based mainly on the biofilm principle. In recent years, many alternative substrates have been studied and applied in CWs, and a review is conducive to providing updated information on CW R&D. Based on the intensive research work especially over the last 10 years on the development of emerged substrates (except for the three conventional substrates of soil, sand, and gravel) in CWs, this review was made. The substrates are categorized depending on their main roles in pollutant removal as ion-exchange substrates, P-sorption substrates, and electron donor substrates. Among these, reuse of various waste products as substrates was suggested due to their competitive pollutant removal efficiency and minimized waste disposal. Regarding substrate development, future research on avoiding substrate clogging to extend their lifetime in CWs is needed.

PHBV polymer supported denitrification system efficiently treated high nitrate concentration wastewater: Denitrification performance, microbial community structure evolution and key denitrifying bacteria. CHEMOSPHERE 2018; 197:96-104.

Abstract
Biodegradable polymer supported denitrification (BPD) system shows good denitrification performance for the wastewater with low nitrate concentrations. In this study, a BPD system using Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) polymer as carbon source was developed to treat the wastewater with high nitrate concentrations. The denitrification performance, utilization ratio of PHBV polymers, and microbial community structure evolution and key denitrifying bacteria were comprehensively studied. Results indicated that an average nitrate removal efficiency of 99% could be achieved with an influent NO3--N concentration of 100 mg L-1 and a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 7.25 h. Mass balance model predicted that 80% of the PHBV polymers were consumed by denitrifying bacteria, close to 72% consumption in real condition, suggesting the model might be useful for PHBV polymers management in BPD system. Further, the bacterial community structures varied along the bioreactor profile, which closely linked to the concentration profiles of nitrate and ammonia. Metatranscriptomic analysis identified the key denitrifying bacteria as Comamonas, Acidovorax and Dechloromonas. The PHBV supported denitrification system developed in this study shows potential for removal of high concentration of nitrate from wastewater.
